      <p>Artifacts in the portfolio can be grouped by the role they play in building a solution: Content Structure, Vocabulary and Code Sets, and Transport and Security.</p>

      <h3><a href="http://sibrowser.siframework.org/?Standards=Transport" class="red" target="_new">Transport &amp; Security</a></h3>
      <p><strong>Transport and Security</strong> mechanisms are employed to safely communicate health information over the Internet. The NwHIN Portfolio is comprised of several transport and security measures including the use of Certificate Discovery using LDAP and DNS to ensure ultimate certificate discoverability and accessibility. Transport and security measures like these help to ensure that appropriate health information is transmitted between the intended certified parties.</p>
      <div class="icons"><a href="http://sibrowser.siframework.org/?Standards=Vocabulary" target="_new"><img src="images/vocab_codesets.png" alt="Vocab & Code Sets" /></a></div>
      <h3><a href="http://sibrowser.siframework.org/?Standards=Vocabulary" class="red" target="_new">Vocab &amp; Code Sets</a></h3>
      <p><strong>Vocabulary and Code Sets</strong> include documentation on common naming conventions, terminologies, and identifiers for coding and classifying health-related data. For example, the NwHIN Portfolio identifies LOINC as a universal code system for identifying laboratory and clinical observations and SMOMED-CT as a comprehensive clinical vocabulary.</p>
      
<div class="icons"><a href="http://sibrowser.siframework.org/?Standards=Content" target="_new"><img src="images/content_structure.png" alt="Content Structure" /></a></div>
      <h3><a href="http://sibrowser.siframework.org/?Standards=Content" class="red"  target="_new" >Content Structure</a></h3>
<p>The <strong>Content Structure</strong> section of the NwHIN Portfolio includes implementation guidance to describe the content standards used for defining the structure for which health information is exchanged electronically, such as with Care Summaries and Lab Results.
